Good things.

Good Thing number 1: My new boss suggested, all on her own, that I work from home one day a week. Woo! How wonderful. It only works because 2 of my 3 Daves will be off one day a week doing their MA. Yay!

Good Thing number 2: I have a swanky new blender, and can now make soup till it spurts out of my ears, should I so desire.
Spinach Soup:
3/4 good handfuls of fresh spinach
Same of watercress
2 Bouillion cubes ('Just Bouillion' are good)
3/4 Spring onions
5/6 smallish potatoes
Two generous dessert spoons of creme fraiche
Tsp nutmeg
salt and pepper

Dissolve the bouillion cubes in a pan of hot water, add chopped potatoes and boil till soft (appx 15-20 mins. Add chopped spring onions, watercress and spinach, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Simmer for a few minutes. When the spinach is soft, put it all in the blender and blend!

Put it back in the pan and add a couple of dollops of creme fraiche. Stir, heat up gently and serve. Sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top if you like.

Good Thing number 3: chatting to Pogrebin. I'm agog to see that story, I mean it!
